Korea Debate Offered SIR. — Your correspondent /'Dinkum Aussie' is somewhat critical of myself and of the Peace Council. I have much ^pleasure in inviting him to meet a representative of the Illawarra Peace Committee in public de bate, on the Korean ' 'question. This will give members of the public ah opportunity to decide for themselves whose statement is a 'gem of distortion.' It will also demonstrate whether he is as much of a 'Dinkum Aussie' as he claims, to be. Place, time, and conditions of the debate can be arranged at. your correspondent's convenience; | we shall be only too glad to agree to foreswear the use of the 'roneoed statements' to which he takes such exception. . M. M. FACKENDER, J.P. Honorary Secretary, Illawarra Peace Committee.
